passenger side footwell.. freak issue?

[Opi]

i noticed when i lay a floor mat in the passenger side, no matter the weather, condensation forms and makes my carpet damp. i havent had a mat in there for weeks now and its fine, anyone ever hear of that?

I'm wondering if you don't have a slight leak from your heater core, or if the drain hole for the evaporator core isn't plugged. Either one would cause moisture on the passenger side floor board.

Sounds like the heater core to me...

The floor mat probably traps the moisture and keeps it from evaporating. It must be a slow enough leak or drip that it dries up faster than it accumulates without the mat to hold it in.

Does it smell and feel like coolant or do you think it's just water?
